Designing and evaluating rear view mirrors by computer. Paper presented at the International Automotive Engineering Congress, Detroit, Michigan, January 13-17, 1969.

The engineer, using a digital computer to analytically evaluate a rear view mirror, can now obtain a full scale, body view drawing of the mirror, eyes and vehicle components. An accurate reduced scale drawing also id produced describing the ambinocular field of view defined by the entire mirror. In addition to the design function, the computer can be used to show compliance to desired viewing requirements. The great number of available design options make this technique a comprehensive flexible, and economic tool.
